The draw has been made for the 2022 Brass in Concert Championships which will take place at Sage, Gateshead on Saturday 19th November.

The draw was made before the Gala Concert that closed the European Brass Band festival in Birmingham, and was led by Brass Bands England CEO Kenny Crookston in his role as adviser for the Brass in Concert event.

The new draw format was devised by the BiC organisers and was based on the 4BR Rankings, with bands placed according to their numerical ranking in an odd or even number of the draw.

The draws were made by David and Ginny Bennett, President and Lady President of the BiC Championships, and Harry Banks the major sponsor the event through the Banks Group.
